Police and investigators at the scene where three people killed during a shooting after a dispute at a pop-up Jamaican restaurant in Los Angeles on October 15, 2016. Three people were killed and at least a dozen more wounded, police said Saturday.

LOS ANGELES >> Police on Sunday announced the arrests of two people in connection with a shoot-out at a home operating as a makeshift Jamaican restaurant that left three people dead and 12 others wounded in the West Adams neighborhood of Los Angeles early Saturday.

“Immediately following the shooting of this one individual, several other shots were fired indiscriminately in the crowd, including some that appeared to be ‘return’ fire from other partygoers in the direction of the suspects,” the statement said. “The initial shooter and at least one other associate, who is also believed to have fired in the crowd, fled the scene on foot.”

Nine men and six women were wounded. Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics pronounced three of the victims dead at the scene.

The injuries suffered by the 12 survivors ranged from minor to severe, police said.

“Currently, one male victim is in extremely critical condition, while most of the other victims have been released from their local hospitals,” the statement said.
